MTB huh...

You can get a Zaskar hard tail frame for 750 canuckle bucks, thats less than

500 yankee bucks. Thats Aluminum, they have a large selection of steel

frames that are even less. I have a Tequesta made of 4130, Five years and

the triple triangle frame design is still stiff. My brother has a Kona three

years old and it feels like a wet noodle compared to it. I weigh in at a

whoppin 220 so let's say I am not easy on it.



As far as suspension goes, I to was a "They won't take away my rigid fork

until they pry it out of my cold dead thighs." kind of guy. After shattering

my elbow in march I couldn't ride for a while and when I started to build my

bike again I ended up getting a sweet deal on a Marzzochi junior T. Four and

a half inches in travel and it is very active. Although it is heavy, it is a

total comfort ride.



I have a couple of bikes, and would suggest you have a back up bike as well.

For the mornings you wake up still drunk to find your ride has a flat and a

tree branch wedged through the chain ring, ( believe me it can happen). And

I would suggest having a roadie whether it's a fixie or not. A less

comfortable ride but way lighter and faster, like comparing a canoe to a row

boat. And before you blow all your money on a bike try a couple of diffrent

styles Roadie, MTB, theres a couple of guys on BMX here, and they like it.

But find your main bike then start on the second one. Varietie is the spice

of life...
